I've said it before and I'll repeat it again. This is so very not true. As a community, as a project, as a technology, Flex absolutely is fighting tooth and nail against the migration of developers to an HTML/JS stack. A proper understanding of the difficulties of layout in HTML is relevant for multiple reasons, including: 1) understanding how the simplicity of Flex layouts compare to HTML (or other stacks) is important when Flex developers debate the merits of various options. The Apache Flex community needs to be concerned not only with the technical aspects of Apache Flex, but also with the marketing side of things to give developers the ammunition needed to sell Flex as the right choice for a project. 2) since there is an interest in this community in converting MXML/AS into HTML/JS, the implications of how difficult mimicking Flex layouts in HTML is an important topic Now, I agree that the community should be fairly laser-focused *right now* on shipping an initial release. But that doesn't mean we should tell people to not discuss HTML-related topics. They are relevant and they are important to the future of this project.
